5.0 out of 5 stars The truth about Margaret Sanger, April 25 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blessed Are the Barren: The Social Policy of Planned Parenthood (Paperback)
This book is required reading for anyone who wants to fully understand the philosophy of Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. Blessed Are The Barren presents, in well written and painstakingly researched detail, how the population control movement was launched in the U.S. under a carefully calculated guise. Donovan and Marshall extensively document the important role racism and eugenics played in the thinking of Sanger and other early "family planning" activists -- neither of which is usually mentioned in Sanger's whitewashed biographies. This is the most informative book I've ever read on the social history of Planned Parenthood, and I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well documented, insightful. You have to read this book!, May 28 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blessed Are the Barren: The Social Policy of Planned Parenthood (Paperback)
I was given this book by a friend, opened the front cover and couldn't put it down.

It gives a very complete biography of the life of Margaret Sanger in a way that is very fair to her and the Planned Parenthood Organization she started.

This is a must read for anyone in health care, religion or politics.
